I wish to advise the Deputy that, taking into consideration the complexities of this case, officials from my Department have contacted the person to whom he refers. 

In relation to the query on the status of the application for supplementary pension; no formal application has been submitted for this purpose. Officials from the Pension Unit of my Department outlined to the applicant the appropriate procedures required and arrangements have been made to have one submitted.
